TeenFront

TeenFront is a community-based initiative created through a partnership between Waterfront Park, HOPE By HOPE, and Amircale Ade to promote safety, positive youth engagement, and violence intervention at Waterfront Park. Through a consistent on-site presence, trusted adults, mentors, coaches, and community volunteers work to build meaningful relationships with teens, de-escalate conflicts, encourage positive interactions, and help create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. TeenFront will be active throughout the summer and through September, providing a visible, supportive presence designed to prevent violence, strengthen connections, and empower young people to thrive. Together, we are committed to creating safer spaces, stronger youth, and a better future for our community.
